birthday

my birthday,
again.
so today was ok...reflecting, I feel I have done so much growing. when I was younger, (about 5yrs) I had a talk with my beautiful father about growing up. I remember looking down at my pink barbie doll skates, rolling back and forth as he was talking, thinking to myself, "yea, but...". haha. I remember thinking to myself that what he was saying, "that I would grow up and my likes/dislikes would change and I would become a different person" was true to an extent, I would grow taller, but I would always be the same me, in my mind. And in a way, I was right, but now that i'm older I see what he meant. I am the same me, in my mind, that i've always been, and I never thought i'd change, but I have in a way. I'm me amplified! haha. I think it's funny too, how i've always been relatively the same person, but people treat me differently, simply because i'm older. I remember, when I was younger, I would want to talk with the "grown-ups". They were the only ones that ever talked about anything worthwhile. I didn't want to be with people my age, all they wanted to talk about was cool new toys, blah blah and infantile subjects. I never fit in. And that's not necessarily a bad thing. I have broadened my interests in the world since then and learned more about the person i truly am. Actually, what i've learned is, i'm "weird" and I still don't "fit-it". haha. it's great though. At least now i'm in a more understanding time in my life where I can be comfortable with "just me". Life and all it's wonders never cease to amaze.
